Auto-clipping treats any String or Array tag as per-base when its length equals the read's length before clipping. A read of length n whose RG ID is also n characters long therefore has its RG sliced along with its bases, leaving an ID that is not in the header. Both auto-clip paths (hard clipping and upgrading soft clips to hard) now skip the SAM tags that are never per-base, alongside the existing MM/ML guard: RG, LB, PU, PG, CO, MI, the sample, cell and molecular barcode tags with their qualities, and MC, SA, OA and OC.

R2 and Q2 hold the mate's sequence and qualities, so with equal-length mates they match the read's length and were sliced with the wrong read's clip coordinates. CC, CT, FS, PT and FZ are structured values, not per-base data. The test now lists the protected tags itself and checks the set against it, so dropping a tag fails the test.

The workspace forbids bare SAM-tag byte literals outside fgumi-tag, which the new test's independent tag list broke. Add the 17 SAM-spec tags fgumi-tag did not define (LB, PU, CO, CR, UB, UR, UY, SA, OA, OC, CC, CT, FS, PT, R2, Q2, FZ) and use the constants in both NON_PER_BASE_TAGS and its test. The spec's uppercase CT is CT_ANNOTATION, because SamTag::CT is already the local per-base ct count.

Add an XA constant so it can go on the never-auto-clip list (bwa/bwa-mem3 alternative hits; it isn't per-base, the same as SA).

A deny-list can't cover every aligner's tags, so say it's best-effort. The list also includes the fgumi-local ob, so "SAM tags" isn't quite right. Length bumped for XA + tc below.

MD parity with fulcrumgenomics/fgbio#1182: that PR deliberately leaves MD/NM/UQ out ("clipping already invalidates them"), while this one protects MD. Pick one and make both lists match.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Went with protecting MD in both. fgbio's soft-to-hard upgrade (upgradeClipping) auto-clips without invalidating MD, so a still-valid MD could be sliced there, and fgumi's clipper never invalidates it at all. fulcrumgenomics/fgbio#1182 now lists it too; NM/UQ are integers, which auto-clipping never touches.

XA:Z (bwa alternative hits) and fgumi's own tc (template-coordinate sort key written by zipper) aren't per-base either. Also worth considering: minimap2 cs, STAR/Cell Ranger GX/GN, 10x BX, ONT pi/st/fn, and small arrays like STAR jM/jI and ONT mv.

This filter-and-slice loop duplicates the one in clip_extended_attributes_raw (line 155); only (start, end) differs. That's why the guard and its test had to be added twice. A shared helper, e.g. auto_clip_tags_raw(record, old_len, start, end), would keep the two in step.

Done in 9c3fa0e: auto_clip_tags_raw(record, old_len, start, end) backs both paths now.

The only check that per-base tags still get clipped is the made-up XB, so wrongly adding a real per-base tag to the list would go unnoticed. Add real per-base tags here, e.g. OQ and E2 as length-matched strings plus an array-typed one, and assert each is clipped.

Same as above for the upgrade path: add a real per-base tag (e.g. OQ) next to XB and assert it's clipped to &value[5..40].
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added OQ next to XB in 9c3fa0e; it's asserted clipped to &value[5..40].
XA (bwa), fgumi's own tc, cs (minimap2), jM/jI (STAR), GX/GN (STARsolo, Cell Ranger), BX (linked reads) and dorado's mv/pi/st/fn are not per-base data, so auto-clipping now skips them; fgumi-tag gains SamTag constants for each. The shared tags now match fgbio's list, MD included. Both auto-clip paths now call one auto_clip_tags_raw helper, so the guard lives in one place. The list is documented as best-effort. The tests check that real per-base tags (OQ, E2 and a cd array) are still clipped, and the two array tests that used XA as a stand-in per-base tag now use XB.

Resolves the conflict in upgrade_all_clipping_raw by passing main's retained SEQ range (keep_start, keep_start + new_sequence.len()) to the shared auto_clip_tags_raw helper.

--auto-clip-attributesclips any String or Array tag whose length equals the read's length before clipping (RawRecordClipper, both the hard-clip path and the soft-to-hard upgrade). That length test can't tell a per-base tag from an identifier that happens to be as long as the read; #1012 already carved outMM/MLfor the same reason.What goes wrong
